We cannot guarantee the security of our servers or databases, nor can we guarantee that information you supply won’t be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet.

4. PROTECTING THE PRIVACY OF CHILDREN. The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act requires that we inform parents about how we collect, use and disclose personal information received from children under 13 years old, and that we obtain the consent of parents so that children under 13 years old can use certain features of our website. We do not condition a child’s participation in any activity on our website on the provision of more personal information than is reasonably necessary. Children should always get permission from their parents before communicating online or sending any information about themselves. Make It Better.net does not collect any personal information from children unless they register with our website. Children are able to access features and view content on the site without registration. The information we collect from children who register on our site may include name, e-mail address, zip code, parent’s e-mail address, birth date, age, and user name. We may collect personal information from parents in order to allow children to participate in certain features on our website, such as a parent’s credit card information or a child’s e-mail address. Make It Better.net does not use or share children’s personal information except as described in this Privacy Policy. If a child registers on our website, we may use the parent’s e-mail address to inform the parent of the child’s registration request. If the parent refuses to allow the child’s registration, we delete the child’s personal information from our database. If the parent does not respond, the child is permitted to register for the site. At any time, a parent may contact us at the postal address or e-mail address provided in this Privacy Policy to opt-out of their child’s participation in activities on our website that require the child’s registration. Make It Better.net may share personal information obtained from children with third parties to the extent reasonably necessary to protect the security and integrity of our sites, to comply with our legal obligations, in response to judicial or other legal process, or as otherwise permitted under law.
